Forti nihil difficilius
They are the crowning glory of the Payne Hall, have you ever taken the time to have a closer look. They give the Hall that "Harry Potter" feel.
This year will be my 20th at the school. In my time here, they have never looked this good. Last Friday they were painstakingly removed by very brave men who defied gravity. My heart skipped a beat. They were given a good clean and a polish. This morning when I came in to work they had been re-wired and hung. They look brand spanking new!
Synonym for Chandelier = Corona ......... How interesting!
How Many?
There are three of these chandeliers suspended from the ceiling in the Payne Hall.
What are they made of?
What kind of Candelier?
Bronze, 8 arm Flemish/Dutch Ball Chandelier (I think)
Circa?
Not sure, maybe early 1800's to early/mid 1900's
Below please see snippets of examples I found online
Another Mystery Solved, maybe?
Whilst investigating chandeliers I might've eventually identified a mystery object that I found on the Folly last year.
I initially thought that this was some kind of draw, door or gate pull ... or could it be the bottom part of a chandelier?
